Firstly, thank you all for paying attention and support to this project.
It has been more than a year of development. I am so happy to announce the official GB.
About the 8L:This keyboard is not only for left-handed people. Why?
The left numpad lets you use the numpad and a right-sided mouse at the same time. It also frees up more space for your mouse.
The first idea, 8L is a keyboard for work, especially for those who need to input a lot of numbers on daily work, the left numpad will maximize your workflow as well as efficiency.
Our original cause is to make tools not only for you to create other greater things but also an inspiration every time you sit at your desk.
